MySpace a place for friends

Concertsinyourhome.com is the most comprehensive and current source of house concert information on the web.

House concerts are intimate music performances, usually solo or duo acts, performing in someone's living room. Hosts promote the shows to their friends, co-workers, and neighbors, and collect a $8-15 donation per guest. The shows are usually unplugged or with a very small p.a. system, and attended by 20-40 people.

These concerts can be very rewarding for performers who are comfortable talking with their audience, and who have a bit of personality to go with their great songs and performances. House concert hosts create great and memorable experiences for their friends and community.

Why play in someone's living room instead of a club? House concert presenters develop a reputation for top-notch performances in a very intimate setting. In doing so, they often develop some degree of a built-in audience. For an artist playing in a new market (town), that audience usually provides much better results than trying to draw a significant crowd to a coffeehouse or a club. It's a great way to break into a market, and to start developing a fanbase that might eventually allow you to have a profitable show in a more traditional venue. Many artists claim that without house concerts, they would actually play fewer clubs - because they wouldn't be able to tour.
